Chapter 852 Defeating the Strong with the Weak and Overcoming the Enemy

This arrangement is very common.

All artillerymen must be surrounded by infantry protection.

Moreover, it is a unit that is good at close combat and has a strong long-range range.

This will prevent the enemy from approaching the artillery positions.

Even in close combat, you can gain a certain advantage.

Da da da.
Min Rou doesn't think about anything now, just rush forward.

No matter what, even if the whole army is killed, they must rush to the enemy's position and destroy the artillery.

Gallop forward with the whole army.

Casualties are also mounting.

More and more companions fell, and fewer and fewer soldiers accompanied them.

Min Rou glanced behind her and found that there were only five or six hundred soldiers left.

He couldn't help being surprised.

It's absolutely impossible to go on like this.

Don't be killed without running to the enemy's position, otherwise you won't be able to complete the mission.

"Everyone stop!"

Min Rou shouted, then got off the horse.

"Get down!"

The remaining hundreds of soldiers all lay on the ground, avoiding the enemy's shooting.

And there are trees everywhere, you can use the trees to cover you, and you won't be attacked.

But
Once they stopped and changed from cavalry to infantry, Min Rou's advantage would be lost.

There is also the possibility of being surrounded.

This scene.

Lu Xun, who was at the command post, also saw it.

"not good!"

Lu Xun said: "If Min Rou tells the Guiyi Army to stop, they will definitely be surrounded by the enemy."

"This idiot..." Huang Zhong couldn't help cursing.

"Now it's just another strong attack." Lu Xun sent someone to call Du Zhen, the brigade commander of the first brigade, and ordered: "Drop a battalion from the third brigade, and a battalion from the first brigade, and then send the division directly under the battalion, and Bring all my guard battalions to form a vanguard force to support Min Rou, and destroy the enemy's artillery position at all costs. In addition, our artillery is aimed at the northeast, and if we find that the enemy is coming to reinforce us, we will fire immediately!"

"promise."

Du Zhen took the order to go.

Huang Zhong said anxiously: "General Lu, once our artillery fires, isn't it equivalent to exposing the position? What if the enemy's artillery comes..."

"How can I manage this now."

"Just in case."

Huang Zhong was still worried.

Lu Xun said: "As long as our troops can fight fiercely and even occupy the defensive positions in front of the artillery, the enemy will not dare to set up artillery and shoot accurately."

"The situation is critical now, and we can only gamble."

Lu Xun's gamble is the key to the whole war.

Victory and defeat, honor and disgrace are all here.

"Old General, I have something to trouble you." Lu Xun said suddenly.

"Say."

Lu Xun pointed to the map on the table and said: "Now we have two difficulties. One is the enemy's artillery positions, and we must take them at all costs. In this way, our artillery can play a decisive role. The second is the west. We must block the enemy's impact and not allow the enemy to break through the line of defense. Otherwise, everything we do will be in vain."

"The task of destroying the artillery position has been handed over to Du Zhen. If I personally command it, there shouldn't be any problems. Only the west position, I took a battalion away just now, and its strength is a little weak. Please hurry up Go there, lead the infantry of the Central Plains Field Army, and get ready for battle."

"Once the enemy rushes past the third brigade's position, please, general, block the gap."

"Understood." Huang Zhong always put the overall situation first.

At such a critical time, he must go all out.

on the battlefield.

Min Rou hid behind a tree.

He doesn't know what to do now.

Originally, the advantage of the cavalry lies in their speed. As long as they charge fast, and rush to the enemy before the soldiers are exhausted, they can turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory.

Just like before, the Guiyi Army had 7000 people and fought against two brigades of the enemy. Although there were heavy casualties at the beginning, they were able to win in the end.

But now
Min Rou stopped the troops and lost all the advantages.

If he continued to rush forward, not only would his speed be slow, but the casualties would also be heavy.

clap clap clap.
Just when he was in a dilemma, there was a burst of gunfire from behind.

Min Rou looked back and was overjoyed.

It turned out that the reinforcements sent by Lu Xun had arrived.

The strength of four full battalions was divided into two parts and surrounded forward.

"Great, brothers, our reinforcements have arrived." Min Rou shouted.

Still, he gave no order to attack.

At this time, it is better to be still than to move.He waited for the follow-up reinforcements to rush up, and he rushed again to avoid casualties.Only when they are on the battlefield can they play the role of cavalry.

Min Rou waited for half a stick of incense.

The four battalions sent by Lu Xun had already rushed forward with a fierce offensive.

Min Rou quickly ordered: "Brothers, get on your horses and charge up with me."

"Kill..." The soldiers responded loudly.

Da da da.
The cavalry speeded up, followed the four battalions, and rushed to the opposite battlefield.

In fact, the distance is not far.

Only about 800 meters.

The four battalions stood one step ahead, almost rushing to the enemy's position.

Min Rou's cavalry passed through from behind and arrived at the opposite battlefield almost at the same time as the four battalions.

"Kill..." Min Rou led the troops to charge fiercely, and instantly surrounded the enemy's artillery position.

The strength of the four battalions remained at the front to defeat the enemy's guards, about two battalions.

At this time.

Enemy reinforcements also arrived.

About two brigades were trying to encircle Du Zhen's four battalions.

In the command post.

Lu Xun yelled anxiously: "Send the artillery battalion, open fire to the northeast, and beat back all the enemy's reinforcements!"

Boom boom boom.
The artillery battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, had already aimed at the battlefield in the northeast.

When the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they were greeted with a burst of indiscriminate bombing.

Round after round of shells, without the slightest break.

Just a few minutes.

The enemy's two brigades not only did not advance an inch, but suffered heavy casualties.

The most gratifying thing is that Du Zhen's four battalions and Min Rou's cavalry successfully occupied the enemy's artillery positions, wiped out more than [-] enemy guards, and captured more than [-] cannons and more than [-] shells.

The enemy reinforcements did not arrive on the battlefield in time, and were beaten back.

Things are not in their favor now.

Perhaps it was the high-level decision of the Western Merchant Empire to withdraw the two brigades back to the base camp.

in this way.

In this raid on the enemy's artillery position, Lu Xun won a complete victory.

Next, the defense line to the west was stabilized.

The enemy without artillery is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out.

Lu Xun left two battalions to protect the cannons, and mobilized troops to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy.

First bombard the enemy's position with artillery.

Make it a mess.

Then send a death squad to clear the way ahead and attack the enemy's core.

Behind are Du Zhen's four battalions as backup.

"Our troops are still a bit small. Four battalions may not be able to defeat the main force of the enemy army." Lu Xun surveyed the overall situation in the command post.This shortcoming was discovered.

Although overall, he had a slight upper hand.

But he had sent out all his troops, and there were no reinforcements.

In case of any accident on the front line, he has no way out.

"I hope I can succeed in one fell swoop this time." Lu Xun stared straight at the battlefield below.

time passes by
until the next morning.

The battle situation began to be unfavorable to Lu Xun.

To sum up the reason, it is still because the enemy has too many troops.

Tens of thousands of troops can be mobilized casually.

But the four battalions that Du Zhen took with him only had more than a thousand people.Although there are cannons to cheer, they are no match for the crowd.

Lu Xun has no more troops to send.

In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, he was going to order all the troops to withdraw to the west position, where they would fight against the enemy and keep their positions.

"General, look over there." Suddenly Lu Xun's bodyguard pointed to the north of the battlefield.

With the strength of at least two regiments, strike the enemy's flank.

"This is..." Lu Xun said, "Your Majesty must have led the army. Alright, this time we don't have to be afraid of the enemy."

"Quickly send an order to the third brigade stationed in the west to draw a regiment of troops to go around to the south and launch a fierce attack on the enemy. At the same time, let the artillery battalion of the third brigade provide artillery support. The troops broke up."

"Yes."

The orderly at the side rushed forward.

The two regiments that came to reinforce were indeed troops sent by Xu Ding.

But Xu Ding didn't come in person.

Because Qiaojun City still needs him to be stationed.

Once he leaves, the enemy will increase their troops to attack Qiaojun, and there is a danger of losing the city.

So let Hong Yuan, the brigade commander of the second brigade, lead the troops.

With the addition of Hong Yuan and the temporary strategic adjustment made by Lu Xun, the enemy army was soon besieged from three sides.

There are also powerful artillery, which have been advancing and bombarding uninterruptedly.

The three sides work together to make the enemy's troops continuously shrink their defenses.

Now it has been forced to retreat to an open field and a mountain range of five or six miles.

If Min Rou's cavalry still existed, they would surely win a complete victory if they rushed over at this time.Unfortunately, in the last two battles, Min Rou's Guiyi Army was almost wiped out.

No matter how good the situation is now, they can't be dispatched.

"The enemy is already at a disadvantage. If it were me, I would order the withdrawal of troops, reserve strength, and wait for the next attack. I don't know if these generals of the Western Shang Empire will give up."

In fact, Lu Xun really hoped that the enemy would retreat.

There are many variables in this war, and it has changed a lot from the plan he designed before.If it weren't for the two regiments sent by Xu Ding, the pressure on the battlefield would be relieved.I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to win.

Now we have a little upper hand, but we can't completely wipe out the enemy army.

If the stalemate continues, there will be many variables.

Two quarters later.

Lu Xun received the news that the enemy troops who were attacking the western defense line broke out to the south and exchanged fire with the regiment sent by the third brigade.Finally hit it out.

Lu Xun was happy instead of worried.

This shows that the enemy is preparing to withdraw.

"Inform the troops on the front line to stand by and not act rashly. If the enemy retreats, let alone pursue them," Lu Xun said.

"Yes."

This order was passed on, and all the troops in front stopped.

Even the artillery battalion no longer attacked the plain where the enemy was.

The enemy does not fight back.

The battlefield was surprisingly quiet.

until half an hour later.

The enemy's troops on the western front moved eastward for more than ten miles.

Only the main force of the enemy army tied up in the plain area could retreat in an orderly manner.

Because he was worried that the enemy's troops were too strong, and Lu Xun was not sure, he did not pursue them.All the enemy troops were withdrawn from the battlefield.

When Huang Zhong heard the news, he rushed over angrily and asked Lu Xun, "Why didn't you take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy after you finally defeated the enemy?"

"Old general, it's not that I don't pursue, but rather."

"What is it? What a great opportunity, you just wasted it like this." Huang Zhong had a look of pity.If it were him, he would definitely hunt him down to the end.

"The old general doesn't know. Our troops are suffering a lot now. The first brigade and the third brigade have broken organizational systems and urgently need to be repaired. Although the enemy army also suffered huge casualties, they are so numerous that they don't care at all. The reason for the evacuation is probably because we don’t have cannons in our hands, and we are not good at long-distance support troops. If we chase them hard and drive them into a hurry, and then fight us to the death, we may not be able to win.”

Lu Xun explained, and finally said: "Besides, in this battle, we wiped out nearly [-] enemy troops, captured [-] mountain cannons, and more than [-] shells. There are also weapons that can equip a division. These can be given to the Central Plains Field Army, so that they also have a strong combat effectiveness. I believe that when we fight again next time, we will win!"

"Uh."

Lu Xun's eloquence was good, but Huang Zhong was speechless.

I was still angry at first, but now I can't get angry anymore.

"Old general, go back to Qiaojun City and report to your orders. Your Majesty is still waiting," Lu Xun said.

"Let's go."

Huang Zhong felt relieved.

The two rushed to Qiao County together.

Before leaving, he did not forget to order the troops on the front line to collect all the cannons and guns on the battlefield.These are the keys to victory in the next battle.

In the city of Qiaojun.

Xu Ding defeated the besieging troops and drank tea with Dian Wei in the mansion.

Lu Xun came back and reported the progress of the battle.

Xu Ding nodded and said, "Bo Yan directed well."

"Han Sheng, you have to learn from Bo Yan. You can't take the risk of attacking just because I am here and eager to defeat the enemy. It is our own strength that will be lost in this way."

"Yes."

Huang Zhong responded.

Xu Ding motioned for them all to sit down.

Glancing at the map hanging behind him, he said, "According to the current situation, there shouldn't be any problems when Boyan is stationed in Qiao County. I can also train special forces with confidence. There will be more troops. Don’t be careless, and be prepared for a big battle.”

"Yes."

"From the map, the enemy can only have two strategic goals. One is to march westward and capture Xuchang. After all, Xuchang is our capital, and taking it there is equivalent to destroying our political center. Said, it is a huge temptation. The second is to advance into the Central Plains and seize the Qingzhou and Xuzhous. But so far, they have not done so. This time when I return to Xuchang, I will send heavy troops to the Central Plains for defense. You must be more careful when stationed here No matter what happens, the enemy cannot be allowed to enter Yuyan Prefecture, otherwise the battle between Central Plains and Jingzhou will also be implicated." Xu Ding said.

Lu Xun stood up, cupped his hands and replied, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely guard Qiao County and prevent an enemy from passing by!"
